it's gray in a city this vivid,
the pauses and delays, furls and frenzies,
dreams take a twisted route,
according to her whims and fancies.
bare hands pen down their stories,
as the last ray fades,
while burning the midnight oil,
our fraught splinters build grim grenades.
it's sick in this city slow on remorse,
lessoning me to bet on myself without fail,
crashing into chaos on stops and slopes,
pedestrian lanes are growing pale.
jumbled work jostles for attention,
and hustling leaves a hundred scars,
we sweep the dirt under a rug,
stashing musings in glass jars.
on sullen dusks, ever so slightly,
some hearts yearn for a leap,
in a city so sour,
remembering to tread lightly,
those breaths collapse in a sobbing heap.

ReplyDeleteIndeed. Quarter-life crisis as well, to be very honest.
ReplyDeleteAaaahh.. I imagine you as a soul trapped in 23ish year old body

Deletethe accuracy of your brain hitting the dart at my glorious 23 years knows no bounds :)

ReplyDelete(I enjoy 2010 emoji style )
hahaha! the 2010 style certainly remains a classic.
DeleteAlso, I'd agree on the 'little too early' part. I'd love to be at the top of my game during the discussion :')
Sure take your time, but heads up,no matter how prepared you are, I will be the one on top of game as well as *≧◡≦ ahem* you, in the end.
ReplyDeleteps also in order for that to happen, we definitely need to move on some other channel of communication(g-mail,hangout,skype or 2020s tech like whatsapp :P), shall we?
